Fantasy Impact: Back on April 29, Senga threw live batting practice and seemed to be on track to return from the 60-day IL when first eligible on May 27. That now feels like a stretch given the latest update Mets manager Carlos Mendoza, who said Sunday night that Senga will not face hitters again for at least the next week as the righty instead throws bullpen sessions to work on his mechanics. Senga is likely going to be out well into June at this point.

Brandon Nimmo went 1-for-1 with a home run and two RBI as the Mets edged out the Braves 4-3.

Fantasy Impact: His performance was highlighted by a critical home run that helped secure the win for his team. Despite a modest .234 batting average over 38 games this season, Nimmo's ability to contribute key hits like today's homer suggests potential for clutch fantasy value. His power numbers are decent with six home runs, and his on-base skills are reinforced by a solid .359 wOBA and 32 walks. Fantasy managers should note his knack for timely hitting, although his overall impact might be limited by his batting average and strikeout rate.

Christian Scott allowed three earned runs over six innings while striking out eight in the Mets' 4-1 loss to the Braves on Saturday.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the loss, Scott showcased his ability to rack up strikeouts, maintaining a strong K/9 ratio that fantasy managers will appreciate. However, his performance in this game slightly raised his ERA and WHIP for the season, which might cause some concern. Given his solid underlying metrics like FIP and strikeout-to-walk ratio, Scott remains a potentially valuable asset in fantasy leagues, especially in categories that reward strikeouts and pitching efficiency. His ability to limit walks and maintain a decent BABIP suggests that better days could be ahead, barring any consistency issues.

J.D. Martinez went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Mets' 4-1 defeat to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marked Martinez's first home run of the season, bringing a slight uptick to his modest .267 batting average. Despite the solo effort, Martinez's overall impact this season remains limited, with only three RBI and two runs scored over 14 games. His power display is a positive sign, but fantasy managers should remain cautious, as his production has not yet aligned with the expectations typically held for a designated hitter. The lack of consistent base-reaching opportunities, highlighted by a low walk rate, further caps his potential for fantasy relevance.

Jose Quintana endured another tough outing in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: He allowed four earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings. This performance continues a concerning trend for Quintana, whose season ERA now balloons to 5.44 with a WHIP of 1.55 across eight starts. His strikeout rate remains low at 6.1 K/9, and a FIP of 5.10 suggests his struggles are not solely due to bad luck. Fantasy managers should be wary of relying on Quintana in their lineups, as his inability to limit runs or miss bats significantly diminishes his value.

Francisco Lindor went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Mets' 4-2 loss to the Braves.

Fantasy Impact: The solo shot was a small bright spot in what has been a challenging season for Lindor, as his batting average lingers at a modest .212 through 37 games. Despite the power display, his overall production has been inconsistent, evidenced by a low .209 BABIP and a wOBA of .296. Fantasy managers should remain cautious; while the home run potential is evident, Lindor's current form suggests limited upside unless he can find more consistency at the plate.

Fantasy Impact: Raley will see another doctor in the hopes of being cleared to throw. Fantasy managers should expect Raley to remain without a timetable for his return.

Fantasy Impact: Ramirez was claimed off waivers by the Mets earlier this week. He figures to add some depth in the middle innings out of the bullpen.

Jose Butto earned a win in Tuesday's 7-5 victory over the Cardinals, allowing three earned runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over five frames.

Fantasy Impact: Despite not delivering a standout performance, Butto benefited from ample run support, nudging his season record to 2-2. His ERA slightly rose to 3.00, and while his WHIP remains steady at 1.15, fantasy managers should note his modest strikeout numbers and elevated FIP of 4.20, which suggest potential underlying issues.

Pete Alonso went 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, two runs scored, and three RBI in the Mets' 7-5 victory over the Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact: This performance might seem like a beacon of hope for fantasy managers, but it's just a small uptick in what has been a challenging season for Alonso. With a batting average lingering around the Mendoza Line at .212 and a BABIP of .206, it's clear Alonso has been struggling to find consistent success at the plate.
